Speeches from Tatchell and co – and also Chris Bryant MP and briefly from Paul O’Grady. Tatchell announced similar events in 33 cities in 21 countries – and that he had gained assurances that David Cameron would talk to Putin at the G8 about this.

A good natured crowd and positive. Some energetic chanting – though some were so complicated that they died like abandoned orphans.
